Cathy: When I close my eyes, I see our future...But we're not riding into the sunset yet, we're driving into the sunrise! Irving: We have to go back. Cathy: Now what? Irving: I need my anti-glare, UV 400 protection sunglasses for sunrise exposure. Cathy: You can't squint in your imagination? Irving: Squinting constricts nasal passages. Can cause sinus headaches. Cathy: Fine. As long as we're going back, I need water. Irving: And a protein bar. Cathy: And the dogs! Irving: iPhone charger! Cathy: Hoodie! Irving: Laptop! Cathy: We'll live happily ever after, honey. Irving: Just might not ever make it out of the driveway.
I agree with Rina Farina too, except for the fact that the word “fulsome” that she used does NOT mean “generous” (and it never did), it means “disgusting.” [You can look it up - in fact, I wish more people would!]
The cartoon may not be perfect, and it certainly doesn’t suit everyone’s interests, but it’s been great. To miss one’s target now and then makes us all human. I think the wisest things the strip has ever published are the times when imperfection has been endearing yet ridiculous. And the wisest comments are those that have reminded us that Cathy has to be human or none of us would find her worth reading (funny, or interesting, or even ringing true).
I’d say, Well done.
